[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] ldeleeuw:
Hello,

I want to start with saying that I didn't create these, but they were mostly created by Chacha_Ivanov from 4pda.ru. I just created a thread for it on XDA. Source of the files attached: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=353120&st=660#entry19657093 (Translated in Google Translate)

Requirements:

You know how to use adb on your PC and you have the proper drivers installed to do so (guide)

You know how you can restore your phone to it's original state in case something goes wrong

Your phone is rooted

If isn't rooted, you can follow this guide by XxXKINGMAKXxX

USB debugging is enabled

CWM Installation

You can update CWM by flashing the ZIP attached to this post. Latest version is called CWM_6.0.2.8_by_Chacha_Ivanov_2013-05-20.zip. For a first installation follow the guide below.

First Time Installation instructions for CWM

Make sure you meet the requirements listed above.

MAKE A BACKUP! If you want to ensure to keep your important contacts, pictures, data and/or settings.

If you don't feel confident you can restore your device if something goes wrong while trying this, I recommend you don't do this at all

Unlock Boot Loader, if you haven't done this already. Follow instructions from here

Extract "CWM_6.0.2.8_by_Chacha_Ivanov_2013-05-20.zip" to root of internal sdcard (so you get /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img)

Open command prompt. You can search for "cmd" in your start menu/screen.

Type the following in command prompt and press enter between commands:

adb shell
su

Press "grant" or "allow" on your phones screen if SuperUser or SuperSU asks for root permissions.

[*]Optional: You can make a backup of the stock recovery by using the following command:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img

To restore, switch the texts after 'if=' and 'of=', after having repeated step 1, 4 and 5.

Continue with the following commands (replace "recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img" by the right file name if necessary)

dd if=/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
reboot recovery

Additional info:

After the reboot you'll see CWM. You can navigate by using the volume buttons and to access a menu item you need to press the power button

You can access CWM upon boot any time by powering off the phone and restart it by pressing volume down and power on at the same time, then immediately followed by holding the home button (like this).

Notes for CWM 6.0.2.8 by Chacha_Ivanov (2013/05/20):

CWM version: 6.0.2.8

I pulled recovery.img from Chache_Ivanov's custom V10D_downgrade firmware and put it into a flashable zip, to make updating CWM easier.

Notes for CWM6_26-02-2013 users:

Based on CWM v6.0.2.5, non-touch version

[FIXED] Factory reset

[BUG] Mount USB Storage still doesn't work

[BUG] ADB sideload also doesn't work, as the devices isn't recognized by adb when it's in CWM

Notes for CWM6_24-03-2013 users:

This version was actually released on 24-02-2013, but I made a typo in the filename

This version is based on CWM v6.0.2.8 (touch)

[BUG] Advanced restore doesn't let you choose which backup you want to use (I think it automatically picks the first)

[BUG] Factory reset doesn't work, because there are buttons in the dialog (you can work around it by going to 'mounts and partitions' > 'format cache' and 'format data')

[BUG] Restoration of data sometimes doesn't work. I haven't yet figured out why and when exactly

[BUG] Mount USB Storage still doesn't work

[BUG] ADB sideload also doesn't work, as the devices isn't recognized by adb when it's in CWM

Notes for CWM5_17/02/2013 users:

[BUG] Restoration of data doesn't work. You'll get an error message.

From what I've read it's caused by the limited space we have for /data (2GB). I think it's better to use 3th party recovery from the Google Play Store for backing up and restoring data. CWM's restore functions works as expected for backing up and restoring /system

[BUG] Mount USB Storage doesn't work

[BUG] ADB sideload also doesn't work, as the devices isn't recognized by adb when it's in CWM

Note: CWM6_24-03-2013.rar is actually released on 24/02/2013, but I made a typo in the file name. The newest version of CWM is CWM6 by CM (see direct download link under instructions).
